ABC has sparked wild conspiracy theories after mistakenly airing election results for Pennsylvania. The results appeared on the ticker along the bottom of the screen during a broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix by ABC local affiliate WNEP-TV on Sunday. It showed Kamala Harris taking the state with 52 percent of the votes, while Donald Trump's share was 47 percent. It instantly prompted claims of election rigging on social media, with one person tweeting: 'The cheat is on.' WNEP-TV said that the numbers came up on the screen in 'error' and that they had been 'randomly generated' as part of a test ahead of election night on November 5.

The media calls Fla before the polls close. Lies about everything TRUMP. allows their “journalists “ to completely twist stores or leaves out the whole sound bite and runs just what THEY want people to see and hear. Half the time they don’t even cover the real news. Lies about riots, saying the riots are mostly peaceful. While right behind them people are setting fires to buildings and cop cars. Now I’m told by ABC to believe their election result projection is just pretend. The cheat is in. ABC goofed in showing it too soon. All of the media are just disgusting liars. Can’t be trusted at all

Something very similar to this happened in 2022. Before election day, an Arizona TV station displayed a “randomly generated” election results test on screen. The numbers showed Katie Hobbs (D) winning the governorship.

I think they showed those numbers on purpose. They are thumbing their nose at President Trump and his supporters, indicating they have more up their sleeve when they steal the election again. That is, they aren't worried in the slightest about the cheating, or anyone opposed to the cheating because they have the power of the Deep State to back them up!

If it was a test, why wouldn't you merely run the % at 50/50 to avoid any adverse comments, etc. Rather than skewing it ?

They did this once before as I recall and the winner was the Democrat in the real results. I continue to believe that this race isn't all as close as the media would have you believe, but to be honest I'm continuing to be afraid because the threat of the Big Cheat is very real. Who in their right mind would believe that Harris, who is devoid of the leadership gene (courtesy Holman Jenkins of the WSJ), could beat Trump or any other candidate? But overwhelm the Big Cheat with Republican votes!

Hours after being released from federal prison, Donald Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon said he had a warning for the Biden family: Pardon Hunter before he has to serve a sentence that could destroy him. 'I don't think Hunter Biden would last 48 hours in a federal prison,' he told DailyMail.com 'I think that it would be too much for him, particularly with his previous drug addiction.' The president's son could face years in prison when he is sentenced for gun and tax crimes in December.

Vice President Kamala Harris is on track to narrowly win the 2024 presidential election, according to a new analysis based on artificial intelligence (AI), with 276 Electoral College votes against 262 for Republican rival Donald Trump. British betting company Bonus Code Bets asked ChatGPT, an AI language model developed by OpenAI, to assess which candidate would win each state based on publicly available polling information, demographics and historic election results. It concluded that Harris would win the key swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada, but lose in Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina.

A Holocaust survivor criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for describing former President Donald Trump as a fascist. A video released by the Trump campaign features Jerry Wartski, 94, as he rolls up his sleeve to show his Auschwitz prisoner number tattoo. 'Adolf Hitler invaded Poland when I was 9 years old. He murdered my parents and most of our family,' Wartski says in the video. 'I know more about Hitler than Kamala will ever know in a thousand lifetimes.' Wartski demanded an apology from Harris on behalf of Jewish people who suffered and died under Adolf Hitler's rule.

He was trying to get access to documents related to an ongoing investigation at the school that he's involved in. Instead of those documents, he was hit with a $84,000 bill. To get the records, he’ll have to pay up. Carrie Uthe, the student’s mother, spoke to reporters on her son’s behalf.

Taxpayers, not an insurance agency, will pay for the city of Akron's $4.85 million settlement to Jayland Walker's family for Walker's police-involved shooting death, Akron Mayor Shammas Malik. The city is not insured, so the settlement will come in a series of four payments over four years, he said. "I imagine that this is something that would have strong feelings, across the board," Malik said of settlement details. "This was something that was done to protect the city's financial interests and to settle the claim." The lawsuit, filed by Walker's family, initially sought $1 million for each bullet that struck Walker.

The 81-year-old president was pictured biting the leg of a baby dressed as a turkey, chomping the toe of a child in an ice cream cone costume and nibbling at a third baby wearing a blue dress.

The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Virginia is entitled to remove noncitizen aliens from its voter rolls, siding with the commonwealth over lower courts less than a week out from the election. The order comes two days after Virginia attorney general Jason Miyares filed an emergency application, requesting that the Court stay an injunction that ordered Virginia to restore some 1,600 suspected noncitizens who are ineligible to vote to the state’s voter rolls. A federal appeals court upheld the injunction on Sunday, quickly prompting the attorney general to appeal to the Supreme Court.

President Trump called on a crowd of supporters to "forgive" President Biden after he compared the former president's supporters to garbage. "Wow. That's terrible," Trump said, invoking Hillary Clinton’s infamous "deplorable" remarks in the weeks before the 2016 election. "And then she said irredeemable. That didn't work out." The Republican nominee called on his supporters to forgive him during a packed rally at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. "Garbage, I think, is worse," he said. "But he doesn't know. You have to please forgive him."

It showed the Vice President capturing 52% of the votes, compared to 47% for Republican challenger Donald Trump, with 100% of the precincts reporting.

Democrats went into damage-control mode Tuesday night due to the president’s trash talk, claiming that Biden hadn’t intended to demonize his party’s political opponents just seven days before voters head to the polls. “The President referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage,’” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has made a rare presidential endorsement just six days before the 2024 election. The former Republican Governor of California - who refused to vote for Donald Trump in 2016 - announced that he will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. In the shocking endorsement, the actor wrote: 'I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.' Despite that, the Terminator star, 77, said that it's time for the country 'to move forward', and that 'the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz'.
